FC6: Command Problems

[eastdockeryf]

---

there are a lot of commands that root can run however my user account can't, of these are

fdisk
modprobe
ipconfig
and etc

I was just wondering how I can get these to working in the user account...

These commands can't be run because they mostly (ipconfig is windows, ifconfig is nix) reside in /sbin. /sbin is probably not in your regular user's profile. To make sure it is, edit your ~/.bash_profile file to include /sbin in the path. You still won't be able to run fdisk or anything like that, because the things that fdisk does require root permission. You'd use sudo to accomplish this.

about the profile, I vi'ed it but I'm not sure of the right way to edit it. Should i just replace bin with sbin or should I add this line PATH=$PATH:$HOME/sbin also I've tried sudo and it doesn't work I still get the command not found error when I sudo fdisk

Get rid of $HOME. /sbin is off of /.
